Manchester United will need to sign a midfielder or two sooner or later, with Manuel Ugarte unlikely to be part of their long-term plans. Casemiro is also over thirty, so the club can only count on Kobbie Mainoo for the medium term.
According to TEAMtalkManchester United’s midfield situation could be resolved once they get the chance to sign Ruben Loftus-Cheek from AC Milan after the Englishman struggled to find consistent minutes in Italy.
Loftus-Cheek’s contract at San Siro also expires in June 2027, and as he enters the final year of his contract with the Rossoneri, he is expected to be available for a bargain, with the possibility of a move to United in January.
Loftus-Cheek’s PL experience is crucial
Ruben Loftus-Cheek has had a successful period in the Premier League, according to Chelsea. His two top English titles with the Blues stand out in a respectable collection of silverware and that could be crucial at Manchester United.
United’s dressing room is also lacking experienced players at the moment, apart from Casemiro, so Loftus-Cheek, who is 29, can get a few years under his belt while also having a good few years of top-level football left in him.
He is a strong box-to-box midfielder who works hard out of possession and has good vision to make forward passes with the ball at his feet. Loftus-Cheek’s physical presence is also an important feature in the engine room of any club.
Together with Ruben Neves, who could make the move from Al-Hilal, he will give Michael Carrick plenty of options to choose from for the rest of the season for Man United, while also playing a key role from a depth perspective next season.
